Chapter 22

8 Months later

One more month and Nicole was going to give birth to her and Will's child. They could hardley contain themselves. All they could think about was this baby.

"Will?"Nicole asked as they lay in bed one night.

"Yes love?"

"Are you sure you don't want to go back to work?"

"How can I? You're one month away from having this child. I need to say here with you."

"Ok."

"I can't leave you while Jack is here. He'll get mad at me."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yes love?"

"What did you tell him in that alley?"

"I told him I would get him hung again if he didn't come back."

"Oh."

"I saved his life the first time. If he was stupid enough to leave his daughter again,he would realized that he wasn't being a good man."

"I see."

"He left because of what I said to him"

"Why?"

"He was mad at me. I finally came out in the open about how you felt about him."

"And he just ran off."she paused.

"You ok?"

She nodded. "I'm fine."

"Then go on."

"I can't."

"It's ok love,"he kissed her stomach.

"Can we talk about something else?"

"Yes we can love."

"Gosh. Only one more month."

"I know."

"You'll be with me,right?"

"Yes I will."

"Good."

"I wouldn't want to miss the birth of my child."

"I wouldn't want you to miss it either."

"Neither would Jack."

"I'm glad he actually came back."

"He just didn't want to get hung again,but then again,he really wouldn't want to miss this for the world."

"I know he wouldn't."

He smiled and kissed her stomach. He sighed. "Almost 1 more month."

"I would like another one."

He smiled and kissed her. "Well,we'll see."

"Yes."

"I don't think two would hurt."

"If the first one's a boy,the second one had better be a girl."

"Or we could switch."

"You're so funny."

He embraced her. "Not as funny as you are."

"Will?"

"Thank you so much."

"For what?"

"For bringing him back."

"I had to."

"I'm glad you did."

He looked over his shoulder and realized that Nicole had falled asleep. He smiled and kissed her cheek. "So am I Nicole."he whispered. "So am I.
